Allow also concurrent neighborhood gossip jobs when seeding data
into the network.
Update Grafana dashboard for two additional metrics regarding
lookups in neighborhood gossip.
* Improvements to the propagation and seeding of data
- Use a lookup for nodes selection in neighborhoodGossip
- Rework populate db code and add `propagateBlockHistoryDb` call
and portal_history__propagateBlock json-rpc call
- Small adjustment to blockwalk
* Avoid storing out-of-range data in the propagate db calls
* Add block bodies to the propagation and lookups
- Read and propagate block bodies next to the headers
- Add block bodies content (via lookups) to the eth_getBlockByHash
call
- Test the above in test_portal_testnet
* Fix storage/propagation of block bodies
- Data format is an actual block: [header, txs, uncles], which
requires some adjustment to store the block body
- Added also `eth_getBlockTransactionCountByHash` json rpc call
This is to avoid having a json rpc call fail if there was a
previous call done more than 10 seconds ago. 10 seconds because
that is the default timeout on the http server side.
* Sharing block header data around in a Portal history network (PoC)
- Rework PortalStream to have an instance per PortalProtocol (this
needs to be improved eventually). Each instance uses the same
UtpDiscv5Protocol instance.
- Add processContent on receival of accepted data
- Add dumb neighborhoodGossip: dumb in the sense that it only
offers one piece of content at a time.
- Add to / adjust populate_db to also allow for propagation of
the data and add debug rpc call: portal_history_propagate
- Add eth_rpc_client
- Add eth_getBlockbyHash (no txs or uncles) to eth API
- Add additional test to test_portal_testnet which loads 5 block
headers to 1 node, and offers this data to few nodes, which should
propagate it over the network further. Next query every node for
this data.
* Adjust paths on which Fluffy CI is triggered
* Add documentation on the local testnet
* Improve the tests of the local testnet
The local testnet test was rather flaky and would occasionally
fail. It has been made more robust by adding the ENRs directly
to the routing table instead of doing some random lookups.
Additionally, the amount of nodes were increased (=64), ip limits
configuration was added, and the bits-per-hop value was set to 1
in order to make the lookups more likely to hit the network
instead of only the local routing table.
Failure is obviously still possible to happen when sufficient
packets get lost. If this turns out to be the case with the current
amount of nodes, we might have to revise the testing strategy here.
* Disable lookup test for State network
Disable lookup test for State network due to issue with custom
distance function causing the lookup to not always converging
towards the target.
Currently bootstrap nodes for discv5 and for the Portal nodes
were provided through separate cli arguments. This is however
confusing and cumbersome as typically when (currently) testing
a node will have both discv5 and the Portal networks enabled.
We merge them into one argument.
If a node happens not to support a Portal network, it will be
removed after message request failure.
Commit also contains additional clean-up and nim-eth bump.
* Add resolve call for Portal networks
And:
- Refactor some code by adding a findNodeVerified call
- add the portal network lookup json-rpc call that uses resolve
- add usage of this lookup in the portal testnet tests
- Additional comments
* Let recordsFromBytes fail on invalid ENRs
This behaviour is more similar as how it is done in discovery v5
base layer.
- Add basic discv5 and portal json-rpc calls and activate them in
fluffy
- Renames in the rpc folder
- Add local testnet script and run this script in CI
- bump nim-eth
